Photos: Celebrity pregnancies that made us happy in 2017

Instagram

Beyonce has a habit of making the world stop. On Feb. 1, 2017, the megastar announced on Instagram that she and husband Jay-Z were "blessed two times over" and expecting twins. The photo garnered 11.2 million "likes," becoming the most-liked Instagram photo in history. The Carters had their twins, Sir Carter and Rumi, over the summer.

Expect all things joyful from Chrissy Teigen, especially on her social media accounts. The model announced on Instagram in November that she and husband John Legend are expecting their second child. She captioned the Instagram video, which featured the couple's first daughter, Luna, with "It's John's." The signer fired back with a playful retort, saying, "Maury will have the final say."

There's something about googley-eyed, miniature humans that make adult-sized humans gush with joy. And for whatever reason, those giddy feelings are heightened with celebrity babies.
